American comic and Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson, who happens to be the 2022 Emmys host, takes a jab at Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history. Following his dance-themed opening monologue, the comic host tried a few highly strung jokes but managed to stay out of controversy. The joke featured Zendaya Coleman while stylishly bashing DiCaprio, who recently broke up with his 25-year-old girlfriend.
Kenan Thompson started off DiCaprio’s jab by pointing out Zendaya’s age. The actress just turned 26 last week, and the Emmy host saw it as an opportunity to make a joke. According to Thompson, 26 is a weird age in the movie industry. He added that you’re too young to play a high school student but too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio.
The joke was well accepted by the audience, who let out a big laugh, but shy Zendaya was seen covering her face. Thompson thrilled the audience by dancing to hit theme songs of some popular tv shows.
